Abstract
An aircraft engine thrust reverser cascade assembly includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced cascade segments, each cascade segment including a plurality of spaced vanes, including an aft-most vane, and rails defining a series of cells or air passages therebetween. The cascade assembly also includes an aft cascade ring removably attached to the aft ends of the cascade segments. A flow deflection shelf is mounted to each of the cascade segments and includes a deflector portion that at least partially extends forward of a group of cells of the cascade segments along which the flow deflection shelf is mounted. The deflector portion is configured to at least partially redirect at least a portion of a volume of air forwardly as the air outwardly passes through the group of cells of the cascade segments.
